drips

[advantex 0]

Very small drips coming from motor. Central, about midway between radiatior and motor. Feels oily but not oil. Any suggestions? Steering pump perhaps?

Was a bit hard to tell on the concrete - found the morning after. Very small leak perhaps a few mils per day at most. Only had ramps at time and it was a bit hard to determine where it might be coming from. Mate suggested it looked/felt a bit like fluid from steering pump - why I made that comment. It did leave a slight green/yellow shade on the outer edges of the drip spot if that is any help.

Sounds more like antifreeze (green) OE antifreeze is blue. Check it out properly ASAP
